SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: BUMED PHOP Electronic 
Behavioral Health Intake Assessment; OMB Control Number: 0703-EBHS.
    Needs and Uses: In 2008, the DoN Bureau of Medicine and Surgery 
(BUMED) created the Psychological Health Outreach Program (PHOP) to 
address potential gaps in behavioral health-related support for all 
Service Members (and their Family Members) serving in the DoN Reserve 
and United States Marine Forces Reserve. The PHOP mission includes the 
provision of preemptive outreach, psychoeducation, assessment, and case 
management services intended to connect Service Members/Family Members 
and Reserve Units as a whole to targeted community resources that help 
reduce stress, promote resiliency, and support mission readiness. The 
PHOP is staffed by a nationwide Team of fully licensed clinical 
behavioral health professionals. To support Service Members and Reserve 
Units, PHOP continuously engages in a cycle of outreach and referral, 
wherein PHOP Team Members proactively contact, and are contacted by, 
Service Members and Command Points of Contact to collaborate on and 
develop action plans intended to address identified psychosocial issues 
and/or stressors.
    To develop customized action plans in support of Service Members 
and Reserve Units, PHOP must conduct an assessment of the psychosocial 
stressors affecting the Service Member or Reserve Unit seeking support. 
To fully support those experiencing psychological health issues, 
assessment necessarily includes an evaluation of specific types of 
issues that may adversely affect one's overall health and wellness. 
These include an assessment of depressive signs and symptoms, anxiety, 
trauma-related experiences, alcohol use, sleep quality, and 
individually identified/reported stressors. Additionally, to ensure 
PHOP services are delivered to Service Members and Reserve Units with 
timeliness and accuracy, individual/group contact information must be 
collected. Moreover, in an effort to provide regionally, culturally, 
and biologically sensitive support, individual demographics are 
collected.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Annual Burden Hours: 970.
    Number of Respondents: 5,821.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 5,821.
    Average Burden per Response: 10 minutes.
    Frequency: On occasion.
